I finally broke down and decided to make a Dr. appointment (mildly nsfw)

2 days ago I noticed a tiny white bump on a pretty... Ahem... Intimate spot, with a dark patch of skin under it and instead of sit around worrying about it I looked up OB-GYNs, found one that I probably trust to look at my lady bits, and am planning on making an appointment as soon as her office opens. :D

Considering I usually put off seeing a doctor as long as possible, I'm proud of myself for reacting so quickly.

Now to deal with the anxiety of waiting for the appointment. :scared15:

Hi

Well done, did you get the appointment organised?

Yeah, but she can't get me in until Sept. 2nd. :/ I may try to find another ob-gyn who can take me sooner. It seems ridiculous to have to wait so long for something this incidental... If it was just for a checkup the wait wouldn't be so bad but this is a specific, uncomfortable symptom. I guess I just want to get it over with, not sit around worrying for a month, you know?

Is it an ingrown hair?

Possibly. It's improved a lot since I first noticed it, so whatever it is/was it's going away. I would guess ingrown hair or pimple, something like that. I was really only worried about the dark skin around it. I screwed up and googled it and predictably diagnosed myself with cancer by the end of the night :/

Of course now that I think about it it's possible that it's just how I normally look and I never noticed because I never bothered to look down there that closely until now. It's not like a rash or anything, just slightly darker skin. I don't know. I actually can't wait for the appointment. I'm neither 21 nor sexually active but I'm paranoid enough that I think yearly appointments now would be a good idea lol
